An awful lot of speculation has been flying about the place regarding Samsung's plans for its Galaxy S III Android model, which we're all gagging to see and upgrade to without even thinking about the cost implications. But what's it going to be like?

While it doesn’t make much difference to us poor 4G-less Britons, LG’s new quad-core flagship line is conspicuously missing any LTE models. Apparently the reason for that is battery drain – LG’s working hard to try and combine quad-core beasts with LTE that’ll actually last a day, but we’re not going to see it this year.

Just like Panasonic, Fujitsu’s launching a range of smartphones into Europe and will be showing off its wares at MWC. Now we know a little about one of its new “ultra-high-spec” smartphones -- it’s another beast with a screen over four-inches.

HTC also has a secret thing to show at Mobile World Congress, like Nokia and Asus. Sadly, HTC's secrets have long been smeared across the internet, so everyone knows its fast things are new dual and quad-core Android phones. But good to see HTC carrying on the charade and pretending it isn't the leakiest ship in technology. [HTC]

Chalk this one up as purely rumour and speculation, but Samsung's next Galaxy S could be powered by its new Exynos 4412 quad-core chip. We're expecting the Galaxy S III to be shown off at MWC early next year.

Chalk this one up as rumour, but Engadget's been sent a render of a new HTC handset codenamed 'Zeta'. The monster device is supposedly packing a beast of a 2.5GHz quad-core CPU besting the previously rumoured quad-core Edge.

Smartphones with dual-core processors are still a bonus—but what about four of those goddamn things? The alleged Android-y HTC Edge packs that, plus a sizzling Tegra 3 package. That's one spicy processing meatball, if PocketNow is correct.
